Things just went pop

So my juicing fast came to and end the other day after some how managing to get the dreaded gastric flu. On top of that I’ve been busy popping out body parts that really don’t need to be out and are quiet painful!!!

Thanks to the lovely injection I got in my bum and the Valium just to help me along my way I hope to make a recovery soon and start my juicing fast all over again!! It’s been an eventful few days but I can’t wait to get back on the juice…I’m a juice addict !!!

Stay safe and well…I’ll be back soon X x

Day 3

From the minute I woke up this morning I knew I was gonna be tired even after an ok sleep ( I don’t sleep great from my injury anyways) I was wrecked.  Even though I’m tired the form is still good I will say though that I have noticed today some muscle weakness especially in my leg when I walk it feels like its going to give way so hopefully that wont last much longer..

My skin is starting to clear which is great had an out break yesterday morning reminded me of being a teenager!!  Very nauseous and my tongue is still coated with a yellow substance but that’s all part of the clear out!!  Hunger levels today are good don’t have any pangs but I’m longing for something…something nice!!!   When I woke up as well I felt skinnier its prob just my head messing with me but I honestly feel less bloated and swollen happy days!!  Tiredness is killing me today I have to say but I will solider on through and hope that tomorrow is a better day.

I’m very proud that I’ve lasted this long especially been tempted left right and center by food.  Himself went and got a supermacs last night and it smelt sooooooo good me been the Eejit I am was craving it so bad I licked a chip..not my finest moment I must say but when needs must and all that it kept me going. I doubt ill be going for a walk today even though its lovely out don’t wanna chance anything with my leg.  I’m off to make some new juices really don’t no what to make.  I’m not a veggie person and the cucumber and celery have just turned my stomach so much I’m gonna try some carrots and broccoli really need to find something else veggie wise so I’m been extra fruity at the mo!!

Had a lovely cup of herbal tea to help get my bowels moving because nothing has been happening there 😦  No headaches which is great but that could be because I’m adding the coconut water to all my juices it really is a god send.  I said yesterday I wasn’t sure about how much juice people should drink while doing the fast but I found out it’s between 32 and 64 oz of juice which is about 900ml – 1800ml or there about.  I’m off now to make more juice and dinner for the kiddies.  Hopefully there will be no more incidents of licking food!!! I will post aging later my full juice amounts for today as i m writing this early.

 

400ml 2 pears, 2 apples, grapes, 2 kiwi + 200mls coconut water.

1 cup of herbal tea

 

 

mood: tired 8/10   hunger 3/10  headache 0/10

Day 2

So after a ropey sleep, I was afraid to wake up in case the dreaded headache was back!! thankfully it wasn’t and I got up in good humor, feeling like id loads of energy which most morning i don’t.  I was so tempted by food today especially when the kids had ice creams and I even went into Lidl to buy danishes but I kept on walking and bought oranges instead (so proud of myself) I had a busy day today but I even managed to get a 2 km walk in.

Feeling really good, not really hungry, no headache and I’ve energy left over!!  The one thing I have noticed is I’m going for a wee a hell of a lot more. It is an effect from all the juice as it is a diuretic. I’m really surprised at my energy levels today I only did a small walk as I was afraid I’d become to weak after it but I added some coconut water to my sweet green and its yummy!! Coconut water is a god send by the way its great for  rehydrating the body and doesn’t taste to bad. I bought some in Holland & Barrett for just over €5 for a litre carton.

Juicing can be time-consuming and a bit costly but its well worth it.  I love making up new juices, I’m not a veggie person at all but I think from now on I’m going to leave out the cucumber and celery (shudders) can’t stomach does  Hoping to get another early night tonight and get more water into me. 🙂

300mls 2 apples, 2 pears,2 oranges, 1 stick of celery.

450ml handful of cranberries, strawberries, 1 orange and 2 handfuls of mixed berries.

450ml 1 apple, 1/2 punnet grapes, 2 pears, 2 kiwi 1/2 grapefruit + 200ml coconut water.

750mls water

Sweet green

Green grapes, 1 granny smith apples, 2 pears, 2 kiwi’s and half a grapefruit

Day 1

So Today is Day 1..

About me..where do I start ? I’m a mum of two beautiful little people, I’m 25 years old and I’m on a mission to lose weight.  I would just go down to the gym but I’ve an injury which stops me doing almost anything and I’m fed up feeling depressed and tired and feeling crap about myself.

Since my injury I’ve put on a lot of weight and just over the years ive gone from been a healthy happy 12 stone to 17 stone 5.5lbs which is devastating because i honestly never thought myself to be THAT big but well the scales and don’t lie and im fed up been this big (I don’t like using the F*T word) and in pain so this is why im doing the juice fast.

I recently seen a documentary about this guy who was basically feeling the same was I was and he stated the juice fast…in like 60 days he lost so much weight and all his health was amazing and it was just very inspiring to watch.  So off I went got myself a juicer and some fruits and veggies and off I go!!  The thing is with this you can only drink the juice of the fruit and veggies you juice, water and herbal tea’s. NO food at all.  I’m going to do this for 15 days to start off with and hopefully I will continue on to 30.

Here’s my diary anyways I’m not sure if I’m getting enough juice but the rule is when your hungry or thirsty drink juice you cant over do it on juice because its fruit and veggies but I’m sure ill find out along the way if its enough or not!!

Day 1..

2 x 350 mls 1/2 cucumber, 4 sticks celery, 6 handfuls of spinach, 1/2 lemon, 1 apple, 5 slices of pineapple

2 x 400 mls 2 oranges, 2 apples, 1 pear, 5 slices of pineapple 1/2 lemon.

750ml water.

Mood out of 10  : very tired  7/10 headache 7/10 hunger 3/10

notes on the day:  started off pretty well didn’t feel hungry at all until it was dinner time and everyone was eating around me!!! had such a god awful headache i had to go to bed at 9pm 😦
